Project details

This research introduces a heuristic method for automatically generating multiscale graph representations for transportation applications, without significant compromise on their topological properties. The method is tested on Amsterdam's open street map network and shows promising results in preserving key network characteristics, even reducing the network size by up to 96% with only 15 minutes computation time. The versatility of the algorithm is highlighted, making it applicable for a variety of purposes, not just for traffic assignment. Moreover, it allows for preservation of critical network elements, crucial for multiscale traffic modeling.
